just bought a "06 GMC Sierra 4x4 extended cab 1500 SLE, are there any problems Ineed to know about?

my new to me truck runs great, bit hard on fuel but hey its a 4x4 truck with a 5.3 liter V8. Does anyone know if a 5.3L is similar to the old school 327 CI chev.

I have a crew cab 06, just under 40k and both front wheel bearings have been replaced. Also some weird electrical issues here and there.

You know, I have felt something rattling through the steering, I do have bumper to bumper warranty, so I should have that checked, thanks for the input everyone.

As far as I know, my truck is factory, but it will sure get up and dangle when you punch it on the highway, the intake howls like a cop car in hot persuit. I suppose my mileage isn't that bad after all, I think I'm getting around 24 MPG on highway, with tailgate up. Have you had ur truck dynoed with the new chip to see how much more HP you get?
